Mrs Brown is a farmer. Every day she gets up at six o'clock and Mr Brown usually cooks her milk and eggs for breakfast.
But today Mr Brown isn't in the kitchen. "Tom!" Mrs Brown calls. No answer. "That's strange. " Mrs Brown goes outside and calls Max, her dog. "Max!" she calls. Max doesn't come. "That's strange," she thinks. Mrs Brown goes to feed the chickens. She looks around in the backyard. No chickens. "That's strange. " Mrs Brown goes to see the cows. She looks around in the barn. No cows. "That's strange," she thinks. Mrs Brown looks around in the field. No animals. "Where are the sheep? Where are the pigs? Where's the horse? That's very strange!" she thinks.
Mrs Brown hears a noise behind the house. She goes to look. Everyone's in the garden: Mr Brown, Max, the chickens, the cows, the sheep, the pigs and the horse. "SURPRISE!" "Where's my breakfast, Tom?" "Today's breakfast is a cake, dear. A birthday cake! Happy birthday!"

There are lots of stories about animals that live long. Some people say snakes can live for hundreds of years. Some say birds can sleep for years. After they wake up, they are still alive! These stories are very interesting for us to read.
But do you think they are true? No! Most animals don't live as long as people do. Of course, it's hard to know an animal's age, because animals can't say, "I'm... years old. " But here are some animals.
An elephant is very old at 60. A horse is old at 60. Bears can live to be about 30. Monkeys can live to be about 20. The oldest birds are parrots and eagles. They can live to be about 50.
There's one animal that lives longer than people. That's the tortoise. One tortoise is said to have lived to be 200 years old. Maybe it's true, because it doesn't like to move.
